What start day should I request for the WSOP?

All the more reason to avoid Day #4 - I'll get to avoid as many pros as possible.

That doesn't and won't factor into my decision making, but I'm pointing it out anyway. But with 12-14 hours of poker per day, I'll take the day off if I can get it. I plan on playing all week, so I'd like to be as well rested as possible.

the only thing i can think of that hasnt been metioned is that if u play earlier and make it to day two u have more time to analyze and reflect on your play from the first day. then scope out the possible competiotion taking notes in case u sit with some folks on the following days. i dont know what its like there so im just giving an opinon in the dark.

the only thing is i would say everyone is going for days 2 or 3. I would guess that pros will get first choice, but i dont know. I might go for day 1. Ive never been to vegas, but if i get to the WSOP, ill play day 1, then rail TP and pshabi or whoever is there from this forum, learn some stuff, and maybe see TP trying it on with shannon elizabeth, or if my gods are with me, scarlett johansson may be on my right.....

before tp started this thread i was gonna ask when i should fly out there. should i come early, like the first 4 days and rail u guys and have a good time or come at the end when the tourny gets serious. i would like to go out in vegas and party some some with u guys.

[eejit101]

go when TP and me and whoever else qualifies plays. You can be our runner boy and get drinks/food/massages/shannon elizabeth for us

[redbank09]

if i dont qualify, i will be your beer and food bitch. im giving u a big thumbs up right now.

Sweet!

It's definitely the most fun during the beginning of the week when everyone is still in, plus the "trade show" is going on... By the end, most people are long gone and it's completely impossible to see anything even WITH a press pass (to some extent).

As for the pros getting first choice eejit, I highly doubt that. First, what constitutes someone being a pro? Who gets to draw the line? Most importantly, when Pro Player X doesn't register until the day before the tourney starts, he CAN'T have first choice, as I will have made mine months and months earlier. If anything, it's first come, first served... but I imagine they will try to keep it fairly evenly balanced as people register.
